Welcome to the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre
![]() |
Welcome from the Director: Ms Elizabeth Ho
Thanks
for visiting our site.
The Centre aims to be a major link between the University and the community, and we are pleased to welcome you.
You will find that we are constantly working either collaboratively or
independently to gain attention for issues that affect all of us as citizens
in Australia, and which are important for our democracy and our global
future.
I warmly encourage you to find out more about our activities and to review
the large amount of quality public content that we offer on this site.
Please ‘register’ to receive event information, or browse our public lecture program at your convenience.
If you belong to an organisation that has some synergies with our goals and would like to work with us, or if you are interested in sponsoring one of our major events or some other aspect of our program, I look forward to hearing from you.
The University of South Australia expresses its deep gratitude to the
Hon Bob Hawke AC for his enduring commitment and
support of the development of the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre.
